Lunar Energy Disrupted Following Witch's Moon Spell Casting
In the past few days, a group of beginner or "baby" witches, as they were described, attempted to cast a hex on the moon. The details of this event were shared on Twitter by a user named Jupiter on July 19.
According to Jupiter, these fresh witches banded together to hex not only the moon but also the fae. Some witches believe that the hex was a hoax designed to make light of witchcraft, while others argue that humans have no power over the Moon and the hex was not effective.
The hex on the moon has raised questions about the potential effects on the "gods that rule the moon." According to Jupiter, the hex may have affected the energy of the goddess Artemis, who rules the moon. Apollo, the god of the Sun, may have been angered by this hex on Artemis, although there is no concrete evidence to support this claim.
The current moon is known as the Full Sturgeon Moon according to the Old Farmer's Almanac. The hex on the moon has sparked discussions and reactions within the witchcraft community, with some witches creating protective counterspells and blessings in response.
Jupiter expressed concern about potential consequences of the hex for the rest of us, stating that the energy will likely be out of wack for a while due to the hex. However, it is important to note that there is no evidence that beginners on TikTok successfully hexed the moon in August 2021 or that such an event had any verifiable effects.
This incident was covered by Newsweek, with the article noting that the TikTok videos related to hexing or spells around full moons, including those from the HexMouth account, are modern creative or spiritual expressions, posted in 2025, not from August 2021. These videos primarily share spell songs, rituals, and witchy content for entertainment or personal spiritual practices, rather than empirical claims of controlling or cursing the moon. The effects described or implied in these posts are metaphoric or symbolic, aimed at personal empowerment or letting go of negativity, not literal cosmic outcomes.
Social-media users, particularly on TikTok, have been discussing the impact of pop-culture on social-media-driven events, such as the healing counterspells and blessings crafted in response to the hex on the moon. The entertainment value of the witchcraft content shared on social platforms like TikTok, as presented by accounts like HexMouth, often serves as a means for personal expression and spiritual exploration, rather than an authentic attempt to control or curse the moon.
